I feel a bit green today, no, not something I ate, more as in Kermit the frog 'it's not EASY being green'). The Universe is doing its job of tossing me 'washing machine-like,' back and forth with my convictions and with humbling lessons begging me to take notice! Being human can be laughable and I [...]
I had a chat with a friend recently declaring emphatically, as I’m known to do, that I wanted to embrace a more expansive, less frenetic approach toward my world. Sidenote: this is not the sort of exclamation you share with just ANY friend, but the kind of friend who won’t immediately laugh until tears run [...]
I love to laugh. My mother and I could make each other laugh as big as anyone! She was just FUNNY. Her world view, despite a tremendous amount of adversity, was one where her glass was infinitely full, until it wasn't and then she left the planet. I hope to leave as swiftly if my [...]
This has been my brave week of letting go ‘things’ I love dearly. I learned on Tuesday that my nearly 13 year old ‘pup’s’ distended belly was not weight gain, but a malignant tumor. Worse, the compassionate gesture was to let him go to the Angels. My grief hit me like a canon ball to [...]
I was asked to report on a cycling event I participated in....our usual reporter of events, sharing who was there, highlights of the ride, etc., was unable to attend. This cycling thing...is much, MUCH bigger than THE BIKE!! For sure! Okay Jim, here's my summary of a very, very good ride and day! 1 Can [...]
Joan of Arc heard them. I hear them if I’m listening. I’m not sure what part of me they are, but similar to my belief that God is part of me (we are not separate), I feel similarly about the guiding voice over my shoulder. I live alone, (well…me, six mammals and two fish), so perhaps [...]
'This or better' says I... and better is streaming in... but that's a choice. We're moving forward with our tv pilot. My newly assembled team is sharp and on point, I've found a new potential business partner who understands my vision for the land behind Carl House and we think similarly....each with our own talents... [...]
There is a shift happening on our planet...a major shift. And I feel myself moving to new places....I'm not 'myself' for 'myself' is changing. As I feel the 'old' in my world coming up again, feelings, situations that I recognize, I realize they are the mirages I need to catapult me elsewhere.....somewhere more fitting for [...]
....maybe I'm in need of a Cool Off at this point in my day. My dog Ernie woke me by jumping on my bed, (pretty much not allowed) at 5am. I remember seeing a small tick on my sheets the other evening after he did the same thing and POPPED out of bed this morning [...]
I'm wondering a bit at the time it takes to reinvent your world. A tad hard to determine in exact measure, but it certainly takes awhile. And for me, it sets any old routines a-kilter a bit...and frankly, I'm rather fond of 'a-kilter'. I like creating new, bold strokes, moving with some speed. Yet, this [...]
